Washington Commanders
The Washington Commanders are hosting the Philadelphia Eagles on Saturday in the second game of their four-game stretch against NFC East teams to finish the season. The Eagles can clinch the division with a win, making them the first team to win the NFC in back-to-back seasons since 2004. They have been a bad team over the last month, only winning against the 2-12 Las Vegas Raiders last week. Washington also ended their losing streak last week with a win over the Giants. Marcus Mariota gets the start again with Jayden Daniels shut down for the year. Can he get...

Well, at least we’ve determined the elasticity of fan confidence with respect to a late-season win against the Giants: it’s +17%.
A week ago, at the tail-end of an 8-game losing streak, fan confidence, as measured by the Hogs Haven Reacts survey, stood at 32%. This week, it moved up fairly sharply to 49% after a road win over the NY Giants. Interestingly, the last time confidence had dipped to 32%, it rebounded to 45% after an OT loss to the Dolphins. I’ll let you draw your own conclusions about what that might mean with respect to the...

The Washington Commanders only made one move before tomorrow’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Tight end depth was thin with Zach Ertz on IR, and Colson Yankoff dealing with an ankle injury. Washington was down to John Bates and Ben Sinnott on the active roster.
Lawrence Cager was elevated from the practice squad for the first time this season. He was an undrafted free agent in 2020, and spent the last three seasons with the Giants. Cager(6’5″, 220lbs) didn’t play in a game last year, and will get an opportunity to get some snaps tomorrow if Yankoff can’t play. Washington...

It’s week 16 of the NFL season and the 4-10 Washington Commanders will be facing a 9-5 Eagles team at home at Northwest Stadium on Saturday at 5:00 pm ET. The Eagles started the season extremely strong, going 8-3 to start the season, but lost 3 of their most recent 4 games before recovering with a blowout/shutout win against the Raiders last week.
On offense, the Eagles are in their first year with Kevin Patullo as OC and their fifth year of offensive-minded HC Nick Sirianni. The Eagles offense this year has been very up and down, with six games...

Tunsil’s absence means that Brandon Coleman, who stepped in for Tunsil last weekend, will likely get the start at left tackle — a position he held throughout his rookie season. Coleman had one of his best games of the season, according to Pro Football Focus, particularly as a pass protector. He allowed zero pressures on 14 pass blocking plays and earned a grade of 86.4 — his highest of the season.
Coleman was originally the team’s starting left guard before being replaced by Chris...

The Commanders entered Week 15 with a question to answer. Were they the team that fought the Denver Broncos through a nail-biting loss in overtime, or was the team that got shut out by the Minnesota Vikings the following week closer to their true identity.
The 29-21 road victory over the division rival Giants was marred by mistakes and poor execution at times, but on balance the big plays and standout performances were enough to put Washington back in the win column for the first time since Week 5. Washington led the Giants from the field goal on the opening...

The Washington Commanders held their third, and final practice of a shortened week as they prepare to host the Philadelphia Eagles on Saturday. Four players were ruled out, with another two listed as questionable. Jayden Daniels won’t be playing in the final three games, but has been practicing with the team. He reaggravated the injury when he returned a month after the original elbow dislocation. He’ll be listed as limited for the remainder of the season.
Several players were injured during the Giants game last week. WR Noah Brown (rib) and practice squad CB Darius Rush (groin) were placed on...

Offensive Flexibility Allows Washington to Adapt
The Commanders have shown they can adjust offensively based on opponent and situation. They’ve faced significant adversity due to injuries in 2025, which has increased their ability to be flexible and adapt to new situations. Whether it’s leaning into a quicker passing game, spreading the field, or using motion to create mismatches, Washington has the tools to attack Philadelphia in multiple ways. Sustained drives — even if they end in field goals — can keep the Eagles’...
